If you like a rustic-style décor and total originality, head to Bixby’s destination shop The Refuge Lifestyle! This unique store provides a warm, friendly atmosphere that, by definition, means a safe place offering peace, comfort and enjoyable surroundings.  

    The Refuge Lifestyle is located just west of Memorial on 151st Street next to Conrad Farms, and is family owned and operated by Clinton Taylor Sr., Sandra Taylor, Clinton Taylor Jr., and Robin Taylor. In ­addition to making unique, ­rustic home furnishings from logs, barn wood, oak, walnut, and cedar, Clinton Sr. also does complete home renovations and repairs. “Our craftsmen work with our customers to design one-of-a-kind, unique pieces of heirloom furniture, and ­complete bathrooms and kitchens,” he says.

    When you visit The Refuge Lifestyle, you’ll find a variety of products suitable for fine dining, elegant kitchens and bedrooms. There are a variety of beds, such as canopies, day-beds, bunks beds, metal insert beds, and elk antler beds made with unique woods ranging from aspen, barn wood, pine, oak, walnut cedar, and swamp juniper. In addition, you will want to check out the variety of nightstands, chests, dressers and mirrors that ­accommodate the complete set. You’ll see antler lighting, world-class taxidermy, fireplace screens, tool sets, end tables, coffee tables and sofa tables made from the same unique woods.

    “The fine furniture quality of our products,” said Robin, “are environmentally-friendly designs and finishes.” Clinton Sr. and his craftsmen create their products from dead standing trees only. Non-toxic finishes are applied to the custom-made final products.
